Added to a campaign
Adding a dungeon brings its place, its people and its puzzles too, and the box tells you what that will use up first.
Add this dungeon to your campaign
Adding this copies the whole dungeon into your campaign: 5 rooms and 2 corridors, its doors, and one location for it on your map.
Its fight comes exactly as the author built it, not rolled for your party. You can re-roll the whole dungeon for your own party afterwards, from the dungeon's own page.
The author's 1 character and 1 puzzle come with it, and count against your allowances.
Its treasure arrives as the author priced it, unclaimed.
The dungeon and its location each count against your plan's allowances. Rooms, doors, fights and treasure do not count against anything.

Used her as the party's way into the old bell tower. The rope complaint got a laugh every session.

Ran her in a market town. My players kept buying her drinks for gossip.
